I came across Oks (or [[ok!]]), a Pinoy Digg-style site. Creator Luis Buenaventura explains Oks. He is also behind the irreverent community site HighFiber.
His blog post talks about Filipino Web 2.0: are Pinoy web users ready for sharing and content creation? He thinks we’re not, but would like to prove it otherwise.
I have to be amused – an Oks user mentioned my Philippine Blog Aggregator project prototype.
Will collaborative filtering work for a Pinoy website?

i dunno about you guys but i have this habit of whenever i came across a new word, i eagerly switch my browser to http://www.dictionary.com to check up on that word, and amusingly (as i find it) that the word irreverent is synonymous with the word impertinent and disrespectful..
oks is good, if not great.. kaya lang daming advertisement..
Exactly. And I think “irreverent” is how they like it.
Oks only has one Adsense unit with 4 ads… quite sparse for me.
if its “irreverent” then its not a good site then..?

plug lang ako, para sa mga taong nag re rent lang ng pc, sa mga cafe owners na gustong mapagsilbihan ang mag patrons nila ng mabuti, sa mga taong tambak ang favourite folders, sa mga taong mahina ang memory at higit sa lahat, sa mga taong kagaya ko, mga taong tamad at mali mali magtype ng internet address.. eto na, eto na.. eto na ang..

Once the optimal color is achieved, it lasts for about five to seven days.
What DHA does when applied to your skin is creates a reaction with the amino acids in your skin’s
surface which cause it to change color. Much of the working class
had left the fields to toil long hours in dimly lit plant life without ever seeing this light of day.
Sun Labs literally leads the way in the tanning industry.
To get yourself a normal, even looking fake tan, scrub the
skin before you apply your spray tan. Salons and spas also use tanning spray cans for applying
the fake tan. However, always consult your physician before you go for a
sun tan, tanning bed or sunless spray tan to ensure your and your child’s
safety. The spray product is available in different varieties and quantities.
If you are not familiar with exfoliating it is simply the act of removing dead skin and dirt build
up on the skin. s little you can do unless your travel insurance
policy covers a full refund of the costs and if it
does then excellent, book yourself a last minute deal straight away and use the extra cash to treat yourself to an upgrade.
